Disengagement = Stop doing business in, and with, China.
Yes, it’s preferable to war.
And we don’t need them anyway. For anything.
We're utterly dependent on China for basic electronic components. There are no US suppliers who can provide resistors, capacitors, inductors, ICs, connectors, and other critical electronic components in the quantities needed. My company is buying millions of dollars of such components a year, and so is every other big electronics manufacturer.
We need to develop our own capability, but that will never happen when Chinese components are cheaper and work just as well.
“And we dont need them anyway. For anything”
How about all that money we owe them, and it continues to get larger. They have a powerful weapon to use if they become desperate.
